         Item 5. Other Events.

         As part of the Company's restructuring plan, the Company has sold eight
of its underperforming golf facilities as well as its golf school located in
Hilton Head, South Carolina for approximately $12.1 million in cash in aggregate
gross sales proceeds. The golf facilities sold include sites in Arlington,
Texas, Austin, Texas, Dallas, Texas, Fort Worth, Texas, Tucson, Arizona, Mesa,
Arizona and Olympia, Washington as well as a golf course in Leesburg, Virginia.
As required under the Company's $130 million credit facility, a portion of the
aggregate gross sales proceeds was used to repay a portion of such debt. The
Company continues to market its remaining underperforming assets and non-core
assets in accordance with its restructuring plan.

         On or about January 28, 2000, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2
and Waiver dated as of December 31, 1999 (the "Waiver") to the Amended and
Restated Credit, Security, Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, dated as of December
2, 1998, as amended and restated as of October 15, 1999 (the "Credit
Agreement"), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, the
lenders named therein, and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as a lender and as agent
for the lenders. The Waiver, among other things, waives the Company's compliance
with certain financial tests for the period commencing December 31, 1999 through
March 31, 2000.

         The foregoing summary of the Waiver is qualified in its entirety by
reference to a copy of the Waiver filed as an Exhibit hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Credit Parties, the
Lenders and the Agent desire to amend certain Sections of the Credit Agreement,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements

1. AMENDMENTS. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth

         Proceeds of Permitted Asset Sales (other than the initial Net Cash
         Proceeds of up to $5,500,000 in connection with Permitted Asset Sales)
         and from the Net Cash Proceeds of any debt or equity issuances, such
         amounts as set forth as follows: (i) from the first $10,000,000 of such
         Net Cash Proceeds or any portion thereof, the Company may retain
         seventy-five percent (75%) of such Net Cash Proceeds and shall use such
         amount to prepay Tranche A Loans until the Tranche A Loans are paid in
         full, and the Company shall pay twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net
         Cash Proceeds to the Lenders to permanently prepay Tranche B Loans then
         outstanding; (ii) from the next $15,000,000 of such Net Cash Proceeds

         pay forty percent (40%) of such Net Cash Proceeds to the Lenders to
         permanently prepay Tranche B Loans then outstanding; and (iii) from the
         next $10,000,000 of such Net Cash Proceeds or any portion thereof, the

period commencing December 31, 1999 to and including 5:00 p.m. on March 31, 2000
(the "Waiver Period"); provided that (i) any breach during the Waiver Period in
the timely performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the terms or
conditions contained in this Amendment shall constitute an Event of Default
under the Credit Agreement and, unless the Agent and the requisite number of
Lenders otherwise agree in writing, shall result in an immediate termination of
the effectiveness of the waiver contained herein; and (ii) an Event of Default
shall be deemed to have occurred on the earlier of (i) February 10, 2000 if an
asset sales manager has not been retained on terms satisfactory in all respects
to the Agent and (ii) as of the close of business on the Waiver Termination Date
(as defined below) if the Company is not in compliance with Sections 7.13(a) and
(c) of the Credit Agreement as of such date at the levels set forth in the

otherwise with respect to each Event of Default, which rights and remedies are
hereby expressly reserved.

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Credit Parties represent and warrant
that, after giving effect to this Amendment:

         a. the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement
are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if

relate to an earlier date); and

         b. no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing
on and as of the date hereof.

Section 4 (the date on which all such conditions have been satisfied being
herein called the "Effective Date"):

         (a) the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of the Company, each Guarantor, the
Agent and each of the requisite number of Lenders;

         (b) all legal matters incident to this Amendment shall be satisfactory

         (c) all fees and disbursements of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel

         (b) Except as expressly amended hereby, the Credit Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with the original terms thereof.

         (c) The amendments and waiver herein contained are limited specifically
to the matters set forth above and do not constitute directly or by implication
an amendment or waiver of any other provision of Credit Agreement

                                        8

<PAGE>



or any default which may occur or may have occurred under the Credit Agreement.

         (d) Should there be a need for further amendments or waivers with
respect to the matters addressed herein or any other matters, requests for such
amendments or waivers shall be evaluated by the Lenders when formally requested,
in writing, by the Company, and the Lenders may deny any such requests for any
reason in their sole discretion.

         (e) This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute but one Amendment. Facsimile signatures at the foot hereof shall be
given the same effect as originals.

         (f) This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

         (g) This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of

the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this
Amendment, including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Agent.

         (i) The Credit Parties acknowledge that they have no existing defense,
counterclaim, offset, cross-complaint, claim or demand of any kind or nature
whatsoever that can be asserted to reduce or eliminate all or any part of their
respective liability to pay the Obligations under or in respect of the Credit
Agreement and all other Loan Documents. The Credit Parties hereby release and
forever discharge the Agent, the Lenders and all of their officers, directors,
employees, agents, advisors and attorneys from any and all actions, causes of
action, debts, dues, claims, demands, liabilities and obligations of every kind
and nature, both in law and in equity, known or unknown, whether matured or
